Fase 1:

Hulp bij rampen

Global Empowerment Mission BStrong reageert in de eerste fase, de rampenbestrijding, door voorraden te leveren en te verdelen rechtstreeks aan de mensen in nood. GEMs partners ter plekke, de Hondurese non-profitorganisaties Humanity and Hope United & Motorrad Angels en Guatemala's Conred Agency, zullen de benodigde voorraden, waaronder waterzuiveringssystemen, uitdelen in de getroffen gebieden. Bovendien zullen onze partners ter plaatse, Give to Colombia en ProIsland, GEM-benodigdheden uitdelen aan Providence en Saint Katalina Colombia.

Op 31 oktober 2020 trof de orkaan ETA, categorie 4, Midden-Amerika en verwoestte de regio: Honduras meldde 57 doden en honderden vermisten. Op 16 november teisterde een andere orkaan van categorie 5, Iota, de regio.

De organisatie zal volledig actief blijven in deze missie totdat de gemeenschappen gestabiliseerd zijn. Doneer alstublieft aan orkaan ETA en Iota #thisisacrisis.
